upcyte cells are primary cells which have been driven back into proliferation by viral gene transfer. The cell strains retain primary features as well as the typical cell-type specific morphology.
 
Benefits
  • Long term cultures for up to 4 weeks
  • Cell-type specific phenotype
  • Characterized & standardized
  • Cryopreserved, assay-ready
  • Virtually unlimited cells from single donors
  • Wide range of cell-based assay applications: metabolism, toxicity, viral infections, uptake studies, diabetes research ...
